Yes, you are right. It is SA20, Not the SA T20 nor the South Africa T20.

The maiden auction of the SA20 T20 league took place with players from all over the globe going under the hammer after the very hard work of Cricket South Africa(CSA).

In the SA20 T20, which is scheduled to be held in January-February next year, IPL franchises have ensured that they get their bases covered for the inaugural edition of the SAT20 league.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) floated the idea of the Global T20 League 5 years ago, it drew investors from across the globe. The proposed tournament saw several franchises from the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Pakistan Super League (PSL) owning their teams, but in the end, the league never really took off.

A few years later in 2018, CSA launched the Mzansi Super League, but it failed to create the buzz that a T20 league normally does. But putting aside the apprehensions, the CSA gets ready with the auction of its SAT20 league on Monday, Sep. 19, with top investors from India – who all own IPL franchises – owning the teams. That’s why everyone calls it mini-IPL.
